What's interesting is looking at the operating income as a percentage of revenue. The cowboys have almost a 50% profit margin where the rest of the league is around 30%. My assumption is that Jerry just jacks up the ticket prices as high as possible and the fans just pay it. The texans could do the same.

This is true, which is why I expect Houston ticket prices to increase every year at a rate faster than inflation.

Jerry is currently charging $75 for parking, and there are still some soccer teams raking in more money than him.

I remember last year reading the Bears were near bankrupt because of the horrible agreement with the city of Chicago?

Their stadium seats 63K. By comparison, Jerry gets at least 20K more tickets sold every game (with all the standing room only tickets, it's more than that). At $200 average price, that's $4MM per game, or $40MM per year, plus whatever else those extra 20K fans buy every game (food, merch). So, it's easily $50MM+ per year in revenue that Jerry has on anything Chicago can do. So, it wouldn't surprise me if they were losing money, too.

For anybody who knows anything about Accounting, you know that there's income and then there's income. Just curious which kind of income these numbers represent, but I'd bet they sure didn't come off of the 1120/1120S ?
